Ron Paul isn't going to win. Period. I highly^10 doubt he will win the primary.
Oh, well obviously you are right, I can tell by the 'period' comment....
[/Sarcasm]
But really, a little backing on why this is your opinion?
He's anti-war on the Republican ticket. That should be plenty to explain that he won't win. IF he wins the primary, there will be a very, very large amount of pissed conservatives, and many won't go to the polls because of it. Hillary will win the Democratic primary by a landslide, and with most of the Democrats behind her after the primary, she will likely win the presidency. Ron Paul is fine on the majority of domestic issues, but his really messed up foreign policy will be his downfall.

Really messed up foreign policy? I fail to see how non-interventionism is a bad idea.
EDIT: BTW, that's a classic Republican view (non-interventionism), and it would be sad to see Republicans shy away from a candidate who believes in it.

True that. There are people around who would rather burn than vote for a Republican. He could attract the "swing votes" and disgruntled Dems/Repubs but what else really? She's not my favorite but I think Hillary has this one.

Non-intervention is just fine... as long as doing so doesn't increase the risk to national security. When it is in our interest to act, we must: and I hope we will continue to do so. 'Accommodation-ism' doesn't work with our enemies, negotiations don't work with our enemies, non-intervention doesn't work with our enemies, and Ron Paul's stance on those issues would absolutely destroy any prospects of peace anytime in the near future.
